DEPENDANTS

Important note:

Living in the UK is expensive. If you are planning to bring dependants, we recommend you have more funds that the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) amount for them and you have suitable accommodation and childcare arrangements in place before travelling to the UK.

Please see the cost-of-living section

Schooling for your children

In the UK, attendance at school is compulsory for children between 5-16. Your child can attend government primary and secondary schools in the UK if they are here in the UK as your dependants.

You will not have to pay for this but schools sometime refuse places to children if their stay in the UK is too short or they have no free places. Further guidance on schooling can be found by visiting: UKCISA - international student advice and guidance - Dependants

If your child is under 5 years old, UEL has a nursery please see details and costings: Nursery | University of East London (uel.ac.uk)
